<p>This section provides an overview of the different kinds of
diagrams supported by Eclipse Capella. It is not an exhaustive list of
all diagrams available in each Arcadia engineering phase.</p>
<h3>Operational Architecture</h3>
<p>
Operational architecture diagrams are used in Operational
Analysis. It captures the allocation of <b>Operational
Activities</b> to <b>Operational Entities</b>. Operational Processes
can be displayed as highlighted paths.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/OperationalArchitecture.png"><img alt="Operational Architecture" src="images/start/diagrams/OperationalArchitecture.png" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Capabilities</h3>
<p>
Capabilities diagrams are available in all Arcadia engineering
phases but are particularly useful in Operational Analysis and
System Need Analaysis. <b>Capabilities</b> are similar to UML use
cases. They are illustrated by Dataflows, Functional Chains and
Sequence Diagrams.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/Capabilities.png"><img alt="[MCB]" src="images/start/diagrams/Capabilities.png" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Dataflows</h3>
<p>Dataflow diagrams are available in all Arcadia engineering
levels. They represent information dependency between functions.
These diagrams provide rich mechanisms to manage complexity:
Computed simplified links between high-level Functions,
categorization of Exchanges, etc. Functional Chains can be
displayed as highlighted paths.</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/dataflows.jpg"><img alt="Dataflows" src="images/start/diagrams/dataflows.jpg" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Architecture</h3>
<p>
Architecture diagrams are used in all Arcadia engineering phases.
Their main goal is to show the allocation of <b>Functions</b>
onto <b>Components</b>. Functional Chains can be displayed as
highlighted paths. In System Need Analysis, these diagrams
contain one box representing the System under study plus the
Actors.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/architecture_1.jpg"><img alt="Architecture" src="images/start/diagrams/architecture_1.jpg" width="60%">
</a></p>
<p>
In Logical Architecture, these diagrams show the building blocks
of the system. These are called <b>Logical Components</b>.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/architecture_2.jpg"><img alt="Architecture" src="images/start/diagrams/architecture_2.jpg" width="60%">
</a></p>
<p>
In Physical Architecture, these diagrams also show the allocation
of <b>Behavioural Components</b> onto <b>Implementation
Components</b> (typically material, but not necessarily).
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/architecture_3.jpg"><img alt="Architecture" src="images/start/diagrams/architecture_3.jpg" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Trees</h3>
<p>
Tree diagrams represent breakdowns of either <b>Functions</b> or
<b>Components</b>. Each node can be folded / unfolded.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/tree_1.jpg"><img alt="Trees" src="images/start/diagrams/tree_1.jpg" width="60%">
</a></p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/tree_2.jpg"><img alt="Trees" src="images/start/diagrams/tree_2.jpg" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Sequence Diagrams</h3>
<p>Capella provides several kinds of sequence diagrams:
Functional Scenarios (lifelines are Functions), Exchange
Scenarios (lifelines are Components/Actors while sequence
messages are Functional or Component Exchanges), Interface
Scenarios (lifelines are Components/Actors while sequence
messages are Interface Operations). Modes, States and Functions
can also be displayed on these diagrams.</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/scenario.jpg"><img alt="Sequence Diagrams" src="images/start/diagrams/scenario.jpg" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Modes and States</h3>
<p>Modes and States diagrams are UML-inspired state machines.
Modes / States / Transitions can be related to Functions,
Functional Exchanges, Interface Operations, etc.</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/modesstates.jpg"><img alt="Modes and States" src="images/start/diagrams/modesstates.jpg" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Classes and Interfaces</h3>
<p>Capella provides advanced mechanisms to model bit-precise
data structures and relate them to Functional Exchanges,
Component or Function Ports, Interfaces, etc.</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/start/diagrams/classesinterfaces_1.jpg"><img alt="Classes Interfaces" src="images/start/diagrams/classesinterfaces_1.jpg" width="60%">

<p>The following is a non-exhaustive list of Capella
differentiating features.</p>
<h3>Methodological Guidance</h3>
<p>
The activity browser provides a <b>methodological access</b> to
all key activities of Capella. It is the main entry point to a
model and is both meant for beginners and power users.
</p>

</a>
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/overview.png"><img src="images/features/overview.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Semantic Colormap</h3>
<p>As graphical
representations of elements play a key role in communication,
Capella relies on a consistent colour scheme. This favours
enhanced model readability for all stakeholders (architects, V&amp;V
practitioners, specialty engineers, managers, etc.).</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/colormap.png"><img src="images/features/colormap.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Semantic Browser</h3>
<p>
More useful than the standard hierarchical view of the model, the
<b>semantic browser</b> instantaneously provides the context of
model elements trough <b>meaningful queries</b>. It is the
preferred way to navigate in models and diagrams and to quickly
analyse the relationships between model elements.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/semantic_browser.png"><img src="images/features/semantic_browser.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Computed Links</h3>
<p>
A key feature of Capella is its ability to scale and <b>to
tackle the increasing complexity of models</b>. Capella
automatically computes graphical simplifications. The information
exchanges between lower-level functions are automatically
displayed on higher-level functions. This relieves architects
from managing intermediate information exchanges and manually
maintaining consistency between several levels of abstraction.
Capella also provides tag-based mechanisms allowing the graphical
grouping of semantically close exchanges.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/complexity_0.png"><img src="images/features/complexity_0.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/complexity_1.png"><img src="images/features/complexity_1.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Advanced Diagram Management</h3>
<p>
<b>Automated contextual diagrams</b>: Content is automatically
updated according to preselected elements and predefined semantic
rules <b>Synchronization/unsynchronization of
diagrams</b>: Gives a fine level of control on the elements which
are systematically displayed or not (Ports of Functions,
Exchanges between Components, Properties of Classes, etc.)
<b>Filters</b> help improve readability of diagrams by selecting
display options and automatically hiding / showing elements.
<b>Layers</b> are means to customise the graphical rendering of
elements in a diagram based on different concerns (e.g.
speciality viewpoints).
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/filters.png"><img src="images/features/filters.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Model Validation</h3>
<p>
Capella organizes model validation rules in several categories:
Integrity, design, completeness, traceability, etc. Architects
can define <b>validation profiles</b> focusing on different
aspects. Whenever possible, <b>quick fixes</b> provide quick and
automated solutions.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/quickfixes.png"><img src="images/features/quickfixes.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Semantic delete with preview</h3>
<p>Capella provides
instant impact analysis of deletions.</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/del_preview.png"><img src="images/features/del_preview.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Replicable elements and libraries</h3>
<p>
Replicable Elements are mechanisms allowing the <b>easy reuse
of (possibly multi-root) model parts</b>. A Replicable Elements
Collection (REC, for Record) is a definition of an element / set
of elements which can be reused in multiple contexts /
configurations / models. A Replica (RPL, for Replay) is an
instantiation of a REC. RECs can be packaged in libraries, which
can be shared between several projects.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/rec_rpl.png"><img src="images/features/rec_rpl.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<!--
<h3>Modelling Patterns</h3>
<p>Recurring
modelling schemes can be captured with patterns.</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/patterns.png"><img src="images/features/patterns.png" alt="" width="40%">
</a></p>
-->
<h3>Transition System/Subsystems</h3>
<p>
The <b>automated and iterative transition between system and
subsystems</b> is a great help for managing several levels of
engineering. The contract and model of the subsystems are
computed from the system. Ideally, subsystems stakeholders are
involved in co-engineering activities at system level before the
transition occurs.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/transition_system_subsystem.png"><img src="images/features/transition_system_subsystem.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>Multi-Viewpoint</h3>
<p>
Capella provides basic demonstration viewpoints (Mass, Cost and
Latency). Combined with Kitalpha, it also provides an <b>API
for viewpoint development</b> and a contributive comparison view to
evaluate the performance of candidate architectures according to
different concerns.
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a rel="gallery" class="fancybox" href="images/features/multi_vp.png"><img src="images/features/multi_vp.png" alt="" width="60%">
</a></p>
<h3>HTML output</h3>
<p>
Sharing models with all stakeholders is essential in model-based
systems engineering. Publishing and sharing HTML versions of
models helps <b>make models THE reference of all engineering
activities</b>.
